Book Reviews of Prayerbook Hebrew the Easy Way
Book Review: I'm finally learning to UNDERSTAND the prayers!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book. I'm three chapters in, and now have a whole bunch of Hebrew sight words! This book is *clearly* written for the many Jews who learned to sound out Hebrew, either in Hebrew school or as a 10 hour marathon Hebrew reading class (there are lots of us!), but who can't understand most of the stuff we're reading. Enter this book...since it assumes you already know how to sound out the Hebrew, it just teaches 10 words a chapter, and the grammar, then gives you exercises. Perfect! I'm copying all the Hebrew exercises down, doing the exercise in my notebook, translating, then checking my answers. It's working, I'm learning to read this stuff! It's rather like solving a puzzle, and is very satisfying.
The book is teaching the most common words from the prayer books, and I am recognizing them as they get introduced, since I have many prayers memorized, that I can't translate or understand.
I got the flash card set with the book, and I am planning on having my son, who is still in Hebrew school, quiz me, so it'll help his Hebrew as well!
If these people write a Torah version, I'll do it next!
